2014 Tour Down Under Daily Rides

Stage 1 ride information

Today we kick off the Tour Down Under with the biggest ride of the week. Heading north east out of town we will take the beautiful twisting and rolling Gorge Road: an absolute must for any cyclist in Adelaide. We then head on to watch the race unfold on the Menglers Hill KOM before heading back into town. (NB: the ride can be shortened to 115km by taking the train home from Gawler).

Stage 2 ride information

A shorter day to rest the legs. Heading out of town we will detour via the iconic Mt Lofty scenic viewpoint before descending into Stirling. A quick lap of the Mylor circuit before watching the race swing through Stirling three times. The ride back into town with the pros is a highlight of the tour.

Stage 3 ride information

Todays ride has us heading north east from the city again. After an initial steep climb into the Adelaide Hills we face a short but lumpy ride to Montacute in time to watch all the action on the Corkscrew KOM. An easy downhill run will take us the whole way home.

Stage 4 ride information

Starting the day with a climb into the Adelaide Hills, we soon wind our way south east through Australia’s oldest German settlement: the quaint town of Hahndorf. A short ride later we will arrive in Echunga to watch the first sprint point of the day. Heading back via Flagstaff Hill we will hit the coast and follow this all the way back to the city via Glenelg.
